Jerry's Back, and We've Got Him!
New Garcia-Kahn Live Disc
It’s been a long, long time since there’s been a Jerry Garcia music release, but the good news is that a new day is dawning, the pipeline to the Garcia vault is open again, and we're looking forward to offering you quality JG tunes as often as we can! Dead.net, in conjunction with the recently formed Garcia Family LLC (mainly Jerry’s daughters), are pleased to announce their first independent release with a new installment of the popular PURE JERRY series, Marin Vet's, 2/28/86. For those of you keeping score, this one is the eighth, and it marks the first official full release of acoustic music from Garcia and John Kahn.
The setting is the wonderful 2,000-seat Marin Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium in San Rafael, the last of 12 acoustic shows John and Jerry played that winter. It’d been a solid tour, with sold-out concerts in a number of cool East Coast venues. But this was a hometown show—literally—so the air was both relaxed and festive. The twelve songs collected here on a single disc are the complete two-set show from that night, nearly 70 minutes of music; a nice blend of old folk tunes, a Dylan number and Hunter-Garcia classics. Particularly noteworthy in that last category are the epic “Bird Song” and rockin’ “Run for the Roses.” Soundboard copies of this show have not been in circulation before.

that is a pretty interesting little doc, and yes, she makes me cringe too - especially knowing she's the one responsible for the Trinketization of Jerry (I always thought those damn dolls were ridiculous, now even more so).
But what's with the Brewer & Shipley song for the outro?
The temptation is to not want to give her a dime after all she's done, but I must admit that even if every penny for the Pure Jerry series went to her, I'd still buy 'em. I guess lucky for her she can sit back and collect on the trinkets.

What an intelligent young lady Annabelle is.
I wish her and her sisters all the best and thank them for making Jerry's music available again.
Garcia/Kahn pure Jerry
Great to see the Pure Jerry series continue. This show is amazing!! The sounds quality and performance are top shelf! This is a MUST have!! Keep the Jerry releases coming.
Hey Now
The "Goodnight Irene" is a real treat, and "Bird Song" gets spacey. Absolutely worth picking up.
Didn't Jerry play
on Brewer and Shipley's "Tarkio Road".
Just a guess as I don't have the CD to know the outro, you are talking about
but I do believe he played on that tune of theirs.
The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.
Garcia/Carousel bundle
Have others received both the Carousel Road trips and the Garcia/Khan CD? I have not received mine yet and just want to confirm that they have been sent out before pressing with more questions. (I already dropped a line to Customer Service on 3/31 but have not received a reply...)
Very, very nice
and fast delivery too ! Have had it for several days already, and it's a great show with excellent sound quality. The recording has a very strong "you're in the room" quality to it.
Also, I see a lot here about the family's estate squabbles since Jerry's passing- I wouldn't wish a contentious estate settlement process on anyone. I just hope the new arrangements are as fair and agreeable as they can be to all parties, and I'm very happy to see new Jerry releases underway !

oh yeah
that's right, I forgot Jerry's all over that Tarkio Road record - I know he's on the title track, he's probably on "one toke" too.
This release sounds incredible - someone pointed out that this is a period when Jerry's in poor health and poor voice; history says that's true but you certainly wouldn't know it by listening to this. Both his voice and his playing are top notch here.
Tarkio
Actually, Jerry is NOT on "One Toke Over the Line"; common misconception....He plays steel on "Oh Mommie"
Got mine today!!
I've always loved the Garcia/Kahn shows and this one sounds great. As others have pointed out, Jerry was not in good health at this time, and some of these shows are kind of a mess to be honest. But Jerry and John seem in sync at this show and the sound is incredible. While folks have said that the first songs start off slowly, I'm loving the "Deep Elem" and "Little Sadie." Jerry's playing is very precise and the slow tempo, I think, suits his weariness at this time.
I'm looking forward to a steady stream of releases from the Garcia Family.
